Daily Racing Tips – Friday, May 17

Kerguelen on top narrowly over the stablemate Tulle for mine.

This son of Lonhro is on debut for Godolphin coming off a handy trial win at Warwick Farm last week where he looked have plenty on the rest of the field winning by close to two lengths.

Tim Clark saddles the three-year-old from a perfect gate and they just need to settle close enough to the speed to threaten.

Debut Warrnambool winner Le Pleine Lune picks himself here in this large field.

He’s on the short side at time of writing, but the Hayes-trained colt by Group 1 place-getter Puissance de Lune looks capable of running them off their feet if he gets a cheap lead.

Nash Rawiller made every post a winner two weeks ago over further, form that has already been franked with the runner-up winning with real authority last week at Donald.

How Dare You has been a difficult filly to get a read on over the last 12 months, but if she produces her best first-up she’ll likely take beating.

The Godolphin three-year-old out of Zoustar was twice placed at the midweek’s last last year, going within 1.5 lengths of One Destiny coming off a four-wide ride in transit.

She’s been kept fresh for the run with a good gap between and has shown plenty in two recent trials to suggest she’ll be hard to hold out.

Waterford can turn in an average effort here and there but it looks like he may have turn a corner after winning well fresh at Rosehill.

Chris Waller’s import laid in over the final stages and looked like he might be swamped in his final few strides, before responding to win by close to a length.

It was a brave performance after being caught wide from the inside draw and he should have improvement left to come based on his second-up form.

With luck from the gate and Tommy Berry experienced in the irons, this looks a nice race for him to finally add a black-type win to his resume.
